INTRODUCTION 

1. The Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) held its 43 rd Session in Beijing, China, from 4 to 9 April 2011 at the kind 

invitation of the Government of the People’s Republic China. Professor Xiongwu Qiao, Vice-Director of the Shanxi Academy of 

Agricultural Sciences chaired the session, assisted by Dr Weili Shan, Director of Residue Division of Institute for Control of 

Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture. The Session was attended by 189 delegates representing 58 Member Countries, 1 Member 

Organization and Observers from 7 international organizations. The list of participants is attached as Appendix I. 

OPENING OF THE SESSION 

2. The Session was opened by Mr Chen Xiaohua, Vice-Minister of Agriculture of the People’s Republic of China. Mr Xiaohua 

extended his sincere appreciation to FAO and WHO for their support and assistance and welcomed all delegates. He indicated that 

China, as host country of Committee on Pesticide Residues, will continuously enhance cooperation with other countries and make its 

due contribution to advancing agricultural development in the world. 

Division of Competence 1 

3. The Committee noted the division of competence between the European Union (EU) and its Member States, according to 

paragraph 5, Rule II of the Procedure of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, as presented in CRD 2. 

ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA (Agenda Item 1) 2 

4. The Committee agreed to consider Agenda Item 11 Revision of the Risk Analysis Principles Applied by the Codex Committee 

on Pesticide Residues after Agenda Item 5 Draft and Proposed Draft Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides in Foods and Feeds 

and adopted the Provisional Agenda as the Agenda for the Session. 

In-session working groups 

5. The Committee agreed to establish an in-session Working Group on Methods of Analysis, chaired by Australia to consider: 1) 

the revision of the Guidelines on the Estimation of Uncertainty of Results for the Determination of Pesticide Residues (Agenda Item 

10a); 2) the recommendations of the Discussion Paper on how to address Methods of Analysis for Pesticide Residues by the CCPR 

(Agenda Item 10b); and 3) the opportunity to convene an expert consultation to provide scientific guidance on the development of 

performance characteristics for multi-residue analysis and proposed terms of reference for the consultation as requested from the 

Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods (Agenda Item 3). 

6. The Committee also agreed to establish an in-session Working Group on Priorities, chaired by Australia, to consider the 

revision of the Priority List (Agenda Item 12a) as well as the recommendations on the status of Codex MRLs for Lindane (Agenda 

Item 12b). 

APPOINTMENT OF RAPPORTEURS (Agenda Item 2) 

7. The Committee appointed Mr David Lunn (New Zealand) and Mr Kevin Bodnaruk (Australia) to act as rapporteurs. 

MATTERS REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE BY THE CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION AND CODEX COMMITTEES 

(Agenda Item 3) 3 

8. The Committee noted matters for information and agreed that the revision of the Risk Analysis Principles applied by the 

Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues in relation to their consistency with the Working Principles for Risk Analysis and their 

applicability to animal feed should be considered in the framework of the ongoing revision of the Risk Analysis Principles (Agenda 

Item 11). 

9. As regards the revision of the definition of “hazard” in the Procedural Manual, the Committee noted that this proposal was 

related to nutrient risk assessment and that the 32 nd Session of the Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses 

(CCNFSDU) had already decided not to amend the definition. The Committee agreed that further discussion on this matter was no 

longer necessary.

Analysis (CRD 30).


10. In reply to the request from the Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods (CCRVDF), the in-session Working 

Group on Methods of Analysis had considered the paper on the development of performance characteristics for multi-residue 

analysis methods for veterinary drugs in foods and the Committee agreed with the recommendation of the working group that a 

clearly described request and more background information were necessary for making any specific recommendations for discussion 

at is future sessions. 

REPORT ON ITEMS OF GENERAL CONSIDERATION BY THE 2010 JOINT FAO/WHO MEETINGS ON PESTICIDE RESIDUES 

(JMPR) (Agenda Item 4a) 4 

2.1 Consideration regarding JMPR capacity and resources 

11. The FAO JMPR Secretariat gave a brief introduction about the issue of JMPR capacity and resources, and suggested that 

information in Chapter 2.1 could be helpful when discussing this issue under Agenda item 13(a). The WHO JMPR Secretariat 

informed delegates that in WHO, the provision of scientific advice is not supported by the core budget but by voluntary contributions 

from member states. He further informed the Committee that WHO does not have the secured resources to conduct the JMPR 

related activities in 2012. 

2.2 Need for appropriate consumption data 

12. The Committee was advised that the JMPR assessment of the dietary exposure is a crucial step in the risk assessment 

process for pesticides and it can be at the origin of concerns between member states and the Codex Alimentarius. During its last 

meeting, the JMPR recommended that WHO collect new data on large portions to improve the ability for JMPR assessment to cover 

a wide range of national consumption patterns. The World Health Organization, with the help of its network of Collaborating Centres, 

has launched a call to collect these data. WHO urged the delegates to follow up on this issue within their respective countries and to 

raise the attention of the competent authorities to answer this call. 

13. The Committee noted that new data would be provided by Thailand and EU member states. The Delegation of Australia 

proposed that a call for data be distributed to ensure that all competent authorities will be informed. 

2.3 Update about the GEMS/Food programme 

14. The Committee was informed that the GEMS/Food programme aims to collect data on food consumption and on the 

occurrence of chemicals in food. A new web based application was developed this year with the support of the US Food and Drug 

Administration. This system will allow member states to upload their data directly on the WHO website and will also allow the 

competent authorities to access the WHO database. 

2.4 Information on the use of pesticides required for the estimation of residue levels in minor crops 

15. The Committee was informed that the 2010 JMPR reviewed the residue data on minor crops conducted in a number of 

developing countries and submitted by the Pesticides Initiative Programme (PIP). However, no approved label or an official letter 

including the authorized GAP was provided from the responsible government agency. The JMPR evaluated the submitted residue 

data, and conditionally made recommendations for maximum residue levels for some minor crops, leaving the final decision on 

acceptance to the CCPR. The JMPR emphasized that the official use patterns are one of the essential requirements and that data 

submitters should comply with the requirements as specified in the FAO Manual. 

16. The Delegation of Kenya expressed their appreciation to the JMPR for its consideration of the need for Codex MRLs to be 

established for minor crops and the diverse GAPs in developing countries. The Delegation of Kenya committed to provide the 

necessary information on the officially recognized /authorized GAPs, including labels by April, 2011 and suggested advancing the 

proposed maximum residue limits. 

2.5 Principles and guidance on the selection of representative crops for the extrapolation of MRLs 

17. As requested by the 42 nd Session of the CCPR, the 2010 JMPR reviewed the text of the proposed principles and guidance on 

the selection of representative crops for the extrapolation of MRLs to commodity groups and provided further guidance on how it 

estimates group maximum residue levels. The JMPR commented that the guidance will be particularly useful during the planning 

stages of supervised trials to ensure that the residue data will be sufficient to support group MRLs. 

18. The Delegation of the EU supported the initiative to establish clear rules for extrapolations, but was not in favour of 

extrapolating the highest MRL for the subgroup with the most critical residue situation to the whole crop group. 

4 Section 2 of the 2010 JMPR Report. Comments from Kenya (CRD 5); EU (CRD 15); and China (CRD 19).


2.6 Statistical calculation of MRLs 

19. The Committee noted that the March 2010 version (30/03/2010) of the OECD MRL Calculator was provided to JMPR for use 

at its 2010 Meeting (in conjunction with the current NAFTA Calculator). Further comments were provided based on JMPR 

experiences in using the calculator. The Meeting concluded that the tested version of the OECD Calculator is a helpful tool to 

supplement expert judgement and to promote consistency in the elaboration of MRLs. 

20. The Delegation of the EU shared the view of the JMPR that the OECD MRL calculator is a valuable tool supporting the 

experts in deriving MRL proposals. However, expert judgment is also important, in particular in cases where the number of trials data 

is limited and the residue trials do not fully reflect the critical GAPs. 

21. The Delegation of Australia informed the Committee that the OECD MRL Calculator has been approved and published by 

OECD. 

22. The Committee agreed to recommend JMPR to use the OECD calculator as a tool to support expert judgment when 

proposing MRLs. 

2.7 Appropriate value from replicate samples from a supervised field trial for use in statistical calculation of the MRL 

estimate 

23. The Committee noted that the JMPR had reconsidered its practice of using the highest value from replicate samples of a 

given field trial and from 2011, would use the average of replicate field trial residue values in establishing the data set for statistical 

calculation of maximum residue level estimates. However, JMPR also noted that the interpretation of the estimate must take into 

account individual replicate values contributing to the data set that exceed the estimate. The Committee supported this new 

approach. 

2.8 The application of proportionality in selecting data for MRL estimation 

24. In order to increase the size of the residue database supporting an MRL, the possibility of use a proportionality approach 

when selecting data for MRL estimation was identified by the JMPR based on the analysis of 10 years residue trial data. The 

Meeting decided it would only consider the method of proportionality under certain conditions, as outlined in Chapter 2.8 of the 2010 

Report. Further discussion was scheduled under Agenda Item 6. 

2.9 Further consideration of expert judgement in evaluating residue trials 

25. The Committee noted that a new approach was discussed by the JMPR for the prediction of pesticide residue concentrations 

in food and feed commodities from foliar-treated crops based on zero day data. The approach was used as an adjunct to other 

considerations and statistical calculations in estimating maximum residue levels. 

2.10 Use of the OECD Feed Table 

26. The Committee was informed that some further modifications of the OECD feed table has been made by JMPR to avoid 

situations where commodities with unique codes might be treated as separate feed items. The 2010 JMPR replaced the Codex 

Commodity Codes allocated to the OECD feed items by the more general Codex Group Codes and corrected some of the Codex 

Group Codes allocated by the 2009 JMPR. It was noted that these changes did not impact on the existing Codex Classification 

System, nor on the OECD feed table. 

2.11 Training of scientists from developing countries for the establishment of pesticide maximum residue levels in foods 

and assessment of the risk from dietary intake of residues 

27. The Committee was informed that the FAO JMPR Panel developed a Training Manual to meet the need of developing 

countries for training in the evaluation of pesticide residues. The Training Manual is intended for use at training workshops and also 

for self-guided study. The Training Manual was used in the international training course held by FAO in November 2010. More 

regional workshops have been scheduled in 2011 based on the successful experience of the first international training. 

28. Many countries, in particular developing countries, expressed their appreciation to FAO for its effort in developing the Training 

Manual and conducting training courses fostering a better understanding of establishment of pesticide maximum residue levels in 

foods and assessment of the risk from dietary intake of residues. The Committee encouraged FAO and WHO to continue to provide 

such technical support to member countries.


REPORT ON 2010 JMPR RESPONSES TO SPECIFIC CONCERNS RAISED BY CCPR (Agenda Item 4b) 5 

29. The Committee noted that specific concerns raised by CCPR at its last meeting will be considered when discussing the 

relevant chemicals under Agenda Item 5. 

30. The Committee expressed its appreciation to JMPR for their work and pointed out that the work of JMPR was essential and 

important for the CCPR. 

DRAFT AND PROPOSED DRAFT MAXIMUM RESIDUE LIMITS FOR PESTICIDES IN FOODS AND FEEDS AT STEPS 7 AND 4 

(Agenda Item 5) 6 

GENERAL 

31. The Delegation of the EU, supported by Norway, informed the Committee that they had concerns regarding the extrapolations 

used by the 2010 JMPR to propose crop group MRLs. The Delegation also informed the Committee that an updated version of its 

extrapolation guidance was published on the European Commission website 7 . While supporting the use of extrapolation, the EU 

considered that in some cases the key elements for extrapolation (existing, comparable GAP and similar residue behaviour) did not 

exist. In such cases the EU considered that individual commodity MRLs were preferable to setting group MRLs to avoid setting 

MRLs higher than necessary. The Committee agreed to consider these concerns when discussing the relevant compounds. 

ENDOSULFAN (32) 

32. The Committee decided to advance the proposed draft MRL for tea, green, black (black, fermented and dried) for adoption at 

Step 5/8 and to recommend subsequent revocation of the associated CXL. 

PARAQUAT (57) 

33. The Committee noted that JMPR had responded to the concern form submitted by the EU in 2010 on their acute intake 

concern for dried beans and potatoes, and that JMPR had confirmed that the short term dietary intake of paraquat from its uses on 

pulses and potato was unlikely to present a public health concern. 

CHLOROTHALONIL (81) 

34. The Committee decided to retain the CXLs for banana; cherries; common bean (pods and/or immature seeds); cranberry; 

onion, bulb; peach; peppers, chilli, dried; peppers, sweet (including pimento or pimiento) and tomato for four years under the periodic 

review, noting the manufacturers would submit supporting data for these commodities. 

35. The Committee noted the reservations of the Delegations of the EU and Norway on the proposed draft MRLs for brussels 

sprouts due to a lower MRL of 5 mg/kg derived from use of the OECD calculator, for cucumber due to an insufficient data set, for 

gherkin; summer squash and root and tuber vegetables due to the extrapolation used by JMPR. 

36. The Committee also noted the request from the EU for JMPR to conduct a short term dietary intake risk assessment for 

chlorothalonil in leeks. 

37. The Committee agreed to advance all the proposed draft MRLs to Step 5/8 and to recommend revocation of the CXLs for 

barley; barley straw and fodder, dry; beans (dry); broccoli; brussels sprouts; cabbages head; carrot; cauliflower; celery; celery 

leaves; cucumber; currants, black, red, white; grapes; melon, except watermelon; parsley; peanut; potato; squash, summer; sugar 

beet; sweet corn (corn on the cob); wheat; wheat straw and fodder, dry and winter squash as recommended by 2010 JMPR, noting 

that the manufacturer will submit new data for carrots. 

DINOCAP (87) 

38. The Delegation of Australia informed the Committee that dinocap and meptyldinocap were closely related compounds and 

that the CXL for dinocap needed to be revised to accommodate residues from the use of meptyldinocap, as recommended by the 

2010 JMPR. 

5 Section 3 of the 2010 JMPR Report. 

6 CX/PR 11/43/3; CX/PR 11/43/3-Corrigendum; CX/PR 11/43/3-Add.1 (comments from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Iran and Thailand). Additional comments from 

Kenya (CRD 5); EU (CRDs 14, 16, and 17); and China (CRD 19). 

7 http://ec.europa.eu/food/plant/protection/resources/publications_en.htm


39. The Committee agreed to recommend the revision of the existing CXL for fruiting vegetables; cucurbits, to exclude cucumber; 

squash, summer and melons, except watermelons, and to recommend higher proposed draft MRLs at Step 5/8 for cucumber; melon, 

except watermelon and squash, summer to support uses of meptyldinocap (244), following the evaluation for meptyldinocap by the 

JMPR. 

40. The Committee also agreed that the source of the residue should be indicated for each proposed draft MRL. 

CHLORPYRIFOS-METHYL (90) 

41. The Committee decided to advance the draft MRLs for edible offal (mammalian); eggs; grape pomace, dry; meat (from 

mammals other than marine mammals); milk fats; milks; poultry meat and poultry, edible offal of for adoption to Step 8 and to delete 

the CXLs for cattle fat; cattle meat; cattle, edible offal of; chicken fat; chicken meat and chicken, edible offal of as they would be 

replaced by commodity group MRLs.

0.1 mg/kg for potato. 

CYPERMETHRINS (including alpha- and zeta- cypermethrin) (118) 

44. The Committee was informed by the Delegation of Thailand that data supporting the draft MRL for asparagus had been 

already submitted to JMPR. 

TRIAZOPHOS (143) 

45. The Committee was informed by the JMPR Secretariat that a short-term intake concern for rice, husked could not be excluded 

based on the 2010 JMPR evaluation and that there were no data available to support a review of an alternative GAP. The Delegation 

of China informed the Committee that processing data for rice, husked would be submitted next year for the 2013 JMPR evaluation. 

The Committee agreed to hold the proposed draft MRL of 2 mg/kg for rice, husked at Step 4 due to short term intake concern. 

46. The Committee decided to advance the proposed draft MRL for soya bean (immature seeds) to Step 5/8 and the draft MRL 

for soya bean (young pod) with a new commodity code VP 0546 to Step 8, as these commodities were not considered animal feeds 

and therefore not affected by the lack of animal metabolism studies and no residue definition for animal commodities. 

CADUSAFOS (174) 

47. The Committee decided to advance the proposed draft MRL for banana to Step 5/8 with the subsequent revocation of the 

associated CXL, and to recommend the withdrawal of the CXL for potato as recommended by the 2010 JMPR.

rape seed; rape seed oil, edible; raspberries, red, black; root and tuber vegetables; tea, green, black (black, fermented and dried); 

tomato; tree nuts; wheat; wheat bran, unprocessed and wheat germ to Step 5/8. 

49. The Committee noted that the Delegations of the EU and Norway expressed their reservation on the advancement of the 

proposed draft MRLs for brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetables, head cabbage, flowerhead brassicas and pulses due to the data 

extrapolation used by JMPR and for hops, dry; tea, green, black (black, fermented and dried) due to insufficient number of trials. 

50. The Committee also noted that the manufacturer would submit supporting data for barley, barley straw and fodder, dry, and 

decided to retain these CXLs under 4 years Periodic Review Procedure. 

51. The Committee decided to recommend the revocation of the CXLs for cattle fat; cattle kidney; cattle liver; cattle meat; cattle 

milk; chicken eggs; chicken fat; chicken meat; chicken, edible offal of; grapefruit; hops, dry; lemon; maize; orange, sweet; pear; 

potato; wheat flour; wheat bran, unprocessed; wheat straw and fodder, dry; wheat wholemeal, as some of them were being replaced 

by group MRLs.


52. The Committee decided to advance the proposed draft MRLs for mango, okra and papaya to Step 5, awaiting the authorized 

GAP to be submitted by Kenya. 

53. Due to short term intake concern identified by JMPR, the Committee decided to retain the proposed draft MRL for strawberry 

at Step 4, awaiting data from the manufacturer to support a review of alternative GAP by JMPR in 2014. 

FENPYROXIMATE (193) 

54. The Committee decided to advance the proposed draft MRLs for citrus fruit; cucumber; dried grapes (=currants, raisins and 

sultanas); fruiting vegetables other than cucurbits, except sweet corn and mushrooms; grapes; melons, except watermelon; peppers 

chilli, dried; pome fruit and tree nuts to Step 5/8.

hybrids): several cultivars, as these were being replaced by commodity group MRLs. 

HALOXYFOP (194) 

56. The Committee decided to advance all draft MRLs to Step 8 with the subsequent revocation of the associated CXLs, noting 

the reservation of the Delegations of the EU and Norway due to chronic intake concern for children, arising from their national 

evaluation. The Delegation of the EU informed the Committee that a concern form will be submitted in due time.

Delegations of the EU and Norway regarding the MRL for brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetable, head cabbage, flowerhead 

brassicas; fruiting vegetable, cucurbits; fruiting vegetable other than cucurbits (except sweet corn); stone fruits due to the 

extrapolation used by JMPR and the subsequent revocation of the associated CXLs for edible offal (mammalian); eggs; milk fats; 

milks; poultry meat; poultry, edible offal of. 

61. The Committee also decided to delete the CXL for Tomato which was being replaced by the Group MRL as recommended by 

the 2010 JMPR. 

BIFENAZATE (219) 

62. The Committee decided to advance all proposed draft MRLs to Step 5/8 for adoption noting the reservation of the Delegations 

of the EU and Norway regarding the MRL for legume vegetable due to the extrapolation used by JMPR. 

BOSCALID (221) 

63. The Committee decided to advance all proposed draft MRLs to Step 5/8 for adoption with the subsequent of revocation of the 

CXL for leafy vegetables, noting the reservations of the Delegations of the EU and Norway regarding the MRLs for leafy vegetable; 

stalk and stem vegetables due to the extrapolation used by JMPR. 

64. The Committee noted that the proposed draft MRL of 50 mg/kg for citrus oil was not in the database and requested the 

Delegation of Netherlands to allocate the code for citrus oil to resolve this issue. 

65. The Committee therefore assigned a new code for citrus oil, edible OR 0001.


DIFENOCONAZOLE (224) 

66. The Committee decided to advance the proposed draft MRL for papaya to Step 5 awaiting authorized GAP to be submitted by 

Kenya. 

67. The Committee also decided to advance all other proposed draft MRLs to Step 5/8 for adoption, including those MRLs for 

common bean and peas (with pod) that were recommended by 2010 JMPR but listed in the database as legume vegetables with the 

subsequent revocation of the existing CXLs for edible offal (mammalian); meat (from mammals other than marine mammals) and 

milks. 

CHLORANTRANILIPROLE (230) 

68. The Committee decided to advance all proposed draft MRLs to Step 5/8 and the subsequent revocation of the associated 

CXLs for edible offal (mammalian); eggs; meat (from mammals other than marine mammals); milk fats; milks and poultry, edible offal 

of, noting the reservations of the Delegations of the EU and Norway regarding the extrapolation used by JMPR for brassica (cole or 

cabbage) vegetables, head Cabbage, flowerhead brassicas. 

69. The Committee also decided to revoke the CXL for grapes as recommended by the 2010 JMPR to be replaced by a group 

CXL. 

FLUOPICOLIDE (235) 

70. The Committee decided to advance all draft MRLs to Step 8 for adoption, noting that acute intake concern expressed by the 

Delegations of the EU and Switzerland in 2010 had been considered by JMPR and their conclusions were presented in chapter 3 of 

the 2010 JMPR report. 

CLOTHIANIDIN (238) 

71. The Committee noted that clothianidin is also a metabolite of thiamethoxam (245) and that new data to support a 

reconsideration of the residue definition were available from the manufacturer for consideration by JMPR in 2011. 

72. The Committee decided to advance the proposed draft MRL for banana; dried grapes; edible offal (mammalian); eggs; 

grapes; mammalian fats (except milk fats); meat (from mammals other than marine mammals); milks; pome fruits; poultry fats; 

poultry meat; rice; root and tuber vegetable; sorghum; sorghum straw and fodder dry; stalk and stem vegetables; sugar cane; and 

sweet corn (corn on the cob) to Step 5 because the source of the residue is clothianidin, for which the residue definition is being 

reconsidered. 

73. The Committee decided to advance all other proposed draft MRLs to Step 5/8 noting the reservation of the Delegations of the 

EU and Norway regarding the extrapolation used by JMPR for berries and other small fruits; brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetables, 

head cabbage, flower-head brassicas; root and tuber vegetables and stone fruits. 

CYPROCONAZOLE (239) 

74. The Committee decided to advance all the proposed draft MRLs for adoption at Step 5/8. 

DICAMBA (240) 

75. The Committee decided to advance all the proposed draft MRLs for adoption at Step 5/8, noting that the manufacturer will be 

submitting revised labels to support the assessment of residue data for soya beans by the 2011 JMPR. 

ETOXAZOLE (241) 

76. The Committee decided to advance all the proposed draft MRLs for adoption at Step 5/8. The Delegation of the USA 

indicated that they would lodge a concern form over storage stability correction factors for assessed commodities for which no MRLs 

were recommended and the Committee noted that the manufacture will submit supporting information on storage stability for 

evaluation by the 2011 JMPR.


FLUBENDIAMIDE (242) 

77. The Committee decided to advance all the proposed draft MRLs for adoption at Step 5/8 noting the reservations of the 

Delegations of the EU and Norway regarding the proposed draft MRLs for brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetables, head cabbage, 

flowerhead brassicas; fruiting vegetables, cucurbits; legume vegetables, stone fruits due to the extrapolations used by JMPR and for 

peppers; tomato and tea, green, black (black, fermented and dried) due to insufficient number of trials. 

FLUOPYRAM (243) 

78. The Committee decided to advance all the proposed draft MRLs for adoption at Step 5/8. 

MEPTYLDINOCAP (244) 

79. The Committee decided to advance all proposed draft MRLs to Step 5/8 and agreed that the source of the residue be 

indicated for each proposed MRL. The Committee noted that the residue definition of meptyldinocap for MRL compliance was 

corrected to align it with the JMPR recommendation. 

THIAMETHOXAM (245) 

80. The Committee decided to advance all the proposed draft MRLs for adoption at Step 5/8 in line with the recommendations for 

clothianidin (238) noting the reservations of the Delegations of the EU and Norway regarding the extrapolations used by JMPR for 

berries and other small fruits; brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetables, head cabbage, flowerhead brassicas; citrus fruits; fruiting 

vegetables other than cucurbits; fruiting vegetables, cucurbits; leafy vegetables; root and tuber vegetables and stone fruits. 

81. The Committee noted that the Delegation of Brazil would submit data and GAP for papaya to JMPR to support a higher MRL. 

DISCUSSION PAPER ON THE APPLICATION OF PROPORTIONALITY IN SELECTING DATA FOR MRL ESTIMATION (Agenda 

Item 6) 8 

82. The Committee recalled that at its last session it had noted the concerns expressed by a delegation that JMPR had not 

recommended MRLs for some commodities as application rates in supporting residue trials were more than 25% greater than the 

critical GAP (cGAP) application rates (the JMPR/OECD cut-off point). The Committee agreed that the Delegation of Australia would 

prepare a discussion paper to address the application of proportionality in selecting data for MRL estimation for consideration at its 

next session. 9 

83. The Delegation of Australia made a presentation based on the information provided in CX/PR 11/43/4 including practical 

examples of application of proportionality based on types and rates of application, chemical/commodity combinations and associated 

MRLs. The Delegation drew the attention of the Committee to the recommendation in the working paper by which JMPR could apply 

proportionality in those cases where the residue data according to GAP were not sufficient for a recommendation. The Delegation 

noted that this approach would give greater flexibility to JMPR in the use of residue field trial data and would allow MRL estimates to 

be made in situations where the current ±25% rules excluded such estimates. 

84. The Committee noted that there was general support for the application of proportionality by using supporting residue trials 

with application rates beyond ±25% in those cases where the residue data according to GAP were not sufficient for a 

recommendation. However, it was noted that this situation usually applied to minor crops and should therefore be limited to these 

crops as opposed to major crops where availability of data usually allowed for normal residue evaluations. It was also noted that, 

when applying proportionality, all data points under consideration, i.e. within/outside the acceptable range of ±25%, should be 

adjusted to 1X to prevent issues of bias. It was further noted that the concept of proportionality should be further tested to ensure 

reliable results before the Committee endorse this approach for use by JMPR. It would thus be helpful to gather information on what 

compound/crop combinations the proportionality principles could apply, statistical methods used, number of tests needed, criteria for 

application of the proportionality method, etc. 

85. The FAO JMPR Secretariat informed the Committee that relevant information on the proportionality approach was provided by 

the 2010 JMPR (General Consideration 2.8 of the 2010 JMPR Report). In this regard, the 2010 JMPR had also recommended 

principles for use of proportionality, including general aspects, commodity and application types, etc. The 2010 JMPR Report also 

presented examples on how to use these principles and the statistical method. 

8 CX/PR 11/43/4. Comments from the EU (CRD16). Section 2.8, 2010 JMPR Report. 

9 ALINORM 10/33/24 paras 72-73.


Conclusion 

86. The Committee agreed that it would be useful if JMPR could elaborate MRLs proposals with and without making use of the 

concept of proportionality so that the result could be compared and that this exercise could be done as part of the general 

consideration issues of the 2011 JMPR for discussion by the next session of the Committee. 

DRAFT REVISION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF FOODS AND ANIMAL FEEDS: TREE NUTS, HERBS AND SPICES (Agenda 

Item 7a) 10 

87. The Committee recalled that the Draft Revision had been adopted by the Commission at Step 5, circulated for comments at 

Step 6 and revised by an electronic working group led by the Netherlands and the United States of America. The Delegation of the 

Netherlands highlighted the commodities which had been added to the lists as a result of the proposals made at the last session and 

in the working group. On the basis of these proposals, the Committee made the following amendments and comments to the 

Classification. 

Tree Nuts 

88. Under Pine Nuts, following the addition of “other Pinus species”, the Committee agreed to exclude Pinus armandii and Pinus 

massoniana as the nuts have a bitter taste and are not fit for consumption. 

Herbs 

89. The Committee confirmed the inclusion of Wild betel leaf bush, proposed at the last session. The following additions were 

also made in square brackets for further consideration: Calendula leaves [and flowers]; Geranium (lemon rose); and Pepper, leaves 

which might also be included under leafy vegetables. It was agreed to insert a new sub-group “Edible Flowers” in square brackets for 

further comments and consideration at the next session. Some editorial amendments and corrections were also made to the section. 

Spices 

90. Under “Root or Rhizome”, the Committee confirmed the inclusion of Lovage, roots proposed at the last session. Under “Citrus 

Peel”, it was agreed to replace Yuzu peel with Yuja peel as the main common name for Citrus junos. 

STATUS OF THE DRAFT REVISION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF FOODS AND ANIMAL FEEDS: TREE NUTS, HERBS AND SPICES 

91. The Committee agreed to hold the three commodity groups: tree nuts, herbs and spices at Step 7 pending finalization of the 

revision of the Classification (Appendix VI). 

92. The Committee agreed to return the new entry for “Edible Flowers” to Step 6 for comments and consideration at the next 

session (Appendix VII). 

PROPOSED DRAFT REVISION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF FOODS AND ANIMAL FEEDS: ASSORTED TROPICAL AND 

SUB-TROPICAL FRUITS - EDIBLE PEEL AND ASSORTED TROPICAL AND SUB-TROPICAL FRUITS - INEDIBLE PEEL 

(Agenda Item 7b) 11 

93. The Committee recalled that its last session had established an electronic working group led by the Netherlands and the 

United States of America to prepare new proposals for the revision of the Classification. The Delegation of the Netherlands 

introduced the new drafts for Assorted Tropical and Sub-Tropical Fruits- edible peel and Assorted Tropical and Sub-Tropical Fruitsinedible 

peel, and highlighted the main amendments. The title of the group had been amended to “ Miscellaneous Fruits” instead of 

“Tropical and Sub-Tropical Fruits” and the category “Assorted Tropical and Sub-Tropical Fruits - edible peel” had been divided into 

three sub-groups: small, large and palms. 

94. The Committee agreed with the proposal from several delegations to retain the title “Assorted tropical and sub-tropical fruits” 

as it was more representative of the commodities concerned, the term “miscellaneous” would allow the inclusion of other fruits that 

were not tropical, and this would affect the selection of representative commodities. 

10 CX/PR 11/43/5; CX/PR 11/43/5-Add.1 (comments from Canada, Cuba and Thailand). Additional comments from Kenya (CRD 5); EU (CRD 14); Nigeria (CRD 

20); and Republic of Korea (CRD 25). 

11 CX/PR 11/43/6, CX/PR 11/43/6-Add.1 (comments from Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Japan and Thailand). Additional comments from Panama (CRD 3); 

Republic of Korea (CRD 4); Kenya (CRD 5); EU (CRD 14); China (CRD 19); Nigeria (CRD 20); and Mali (CRD 21).


Assorted tropical and sub-tropical fruits - edible peel 

95. Some delegations proposed to transfer jujube, Chinese to the group for stone fruit as it was more similar to that group and 

grew in temperate climates. It was retained in square brackets for further consideration. 

96. Some delegations proposed to transfer kumquats and limequats to the citrus fruits group as they are classified as citrus 

taxonomically and they are traded as such in Asia. Other delegations did not support this amendment as this would result in many 

MRLs for citrus becoming applicable to kumquat although it has an edible peel, which is not the case of other citrus species. The 

Committee agreed to retain kumquats and limequats in square brackets for further consideration. 

97. Some delegations proposed to transfer persimmon to the pome fruits group in view of their botanical characteristics, climatic 

growing conditions, trade and pesticide residue pattern, and noted that the inclusion in the group for tropical fruits would result in a 

decrease in the number of MRLs available. The Committee agreed that further consideration should be given to the consequences of 

such a change as regards the establishment of MRLs and persimmon was retained in square brackets for further consideration. 

98. It was proposed to transfer tamarind to the “inedible smooth peel-large” group as tamarind peel is hard and inedible, and it 

was placed in square brackets for further discussion. 

Assorted tropical and sub-tropical fruits - inedible peel 

99. The following species was placed in square brackets for further consideration: Madras thorn, which has a pod similar to 

tamarind; two additional synonyms for the scientific name of langsat; and sapodilla. Baobab fruit was inserted as an alternative to 

monkey bread. It was also agreed to insert a specific entry for coconut, young in the sub-group for palms. 

STATUS OF THE PROPOSED DRAFT REVISION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF FOODS AND ANIMAL FEEDS: ASSORTED TROPICAL AND SUB- 

TROPICAL FRUITS - EDIBLE PEEL AND ASSORTED TROPICAL AND SUB-TROPICAL FRUITS - INEDIBLE PEEL 

100. The Committee agreed to advance the Proposed Draft Revision to Step 5 for adoption by the 34 th Session of the Codex 

Alimentarius Commission (Appendix VIII). 

101. The Committee agreed to reconvene the electronic working group led by the Netherlands and the United States to proceed 

with the elaboration of new drafts of the groups for several types of vegetables for comments at Step 3 and consideration at the next 

session. 

DRAFT PRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCE FOR THE SELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE COMMODITIES FOR THE 

EXTRAPOLATION OF MAXIMUM RESIDUE LIMITS FOR PESTICIDES FOR COMMODITY GROUPS (Agenda Item 8a) 12 

PROPOSED DRAFT ADDENDA TO THE DRAFT PRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCE FOR THE SELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE 

COMMODITIES FOR THE EXTRAPOLATION OF MAXIMUM RESIDUE LIMITS FOR PESTICIDES FOR COMMODITY GROUPS 

(Agenda Item 8b) 13 

102. The Committee recalled that at its last session it had revised the Principles and Guidance including Table 1 – Example of the 

Selection of Representative Commodities and had forwarded the revised text to the 33 rd Session of the Commission for adoption at 

Step 5. The Commission adopted the document as proposed by the Committee and advanced it to Step 6 for comments and 

finalization by the next session of the Committee. It was also recalled that Addendum I – Justification on bulb vegetables and fruiting 

vegetables other than cucurbits and Addendum II – Background information regarding representative commodities had been 

returned to Steps 2/3 for revision, comments and further consideration by the next session of the Committee. The Committee had 

also agreed to re-establish the electronic working group led by the Netherlands and the United States of America to revise Table 1 

and the Addenda based on the comments submitted and the considerations made in plenary. 

12 CX/PR 11/43/7; CX/11/43/7-Add.1 (comments from Canada, Cuba and Japan). Additional comments from Kenya (CRD 5); Colombia (CRD 9); European 

Union (CRD 15); China (CRD 19); and Mali (CRD 21). 

13 CX/PR 11/43/8.


103. The Committee noted that the working group had produced two revised documents as contained in CX/PR 11/43/7 (Principles 

and Guidance including Table 1) and CX/PR 11/43/8 (Addenda). The Committee also noted that the two items were correlated and 

agreed to discuss them together. The Delegation of the United States of America introduced both documents and gave a brief 

summary of the main outcome of the discussions in the working group. In this regard, it was noted that Table 1 had been revised by 

including fruit commodity groups with a view to facilitating the finalization of the Principles/Guidance and Table 1 (fruit types) at the 

next session of the Committee vis-à-vis the corresponding fruit commodity groups in the Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds 

and the decision of the 42 nd Session of the Committee that, if all fruit types were completed by 2012, consideration would be given to 

advancing them to Step 8 for final adoption by the Commission and inclusion in the Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds 14 . 

104. The Committee agreed that Table 1 should be an integral part of the final document. However, the information contained in 

the Addenda was considered useful supportive information for the development of Table 1 (Addendum I) and to provide background 

information on the development of the document (Addendum II) but they should not be part of the final document. The Committee 

noted that this information was available in the reports and relevant working documents prepared for the discussion of this item at 

different sessions of the Committee and that Codex documents were available for consultation on the Codex website. As a result, the 

Committee agreed to delete or adjust all references to Addenda I and II in the document. 

105. The Committee noted that the reference to “similar (as opposed to same) use pattern or GAP” for the selection of 

representative commodities covered by a group MRL was entered to provide for some degree of flexibility in the application of the 

Principles and that this term was limited to the relevant provisions provided for in the FAO Manual on the Submission and Evaluation 

of Pesticide Residue Data for the Estimation of Maximum Residue Level in Food and Feed. 

Consideration of the Principles and Guidance 

106. The Committee made a number of amendments by removing or transferring some provisions to other sections as not 

necessary or more relevant for the given section. 

107. The Delegation of the EU noted that extrapolation of results of residue trials is a possibility to establish MRLs for 

crops/commodities for which the number of trials would not be sufficient to derive individual MRLs. However, the setting of MRLs by 

extrapolation introduced an additional source of uncertainty. Therefore, extrapolation should be restricted to cases where the GAP 

was comparable and similar residue behaviour was expected. If available residue trials demonstrated that the use of a pesticide 

would result in different residue concentrations in the crops belonging to the same crop group, it is preferable to derive individual 

MRLs instead of extrapolating the highest MRL calculated for the crop with the highest residue to the other members of the 

commodity group. In these cases, the ALARA Principles should be applied to set MRLs at appropriate lower levels. Based on this 

consideration, the Committee agreed to introduce a reference to the ALARA Principles when considering representative commodity 

to extrapolate to other members of a commodity group. 

Consideration of Table 1 

108. The Committee agreed to change the title to more appropriately reflect the purpose of and information contained in Table 1. In 

Group 001 Citrus Fruits, the Committee agreed that, in order to extrapolate maximum residue limits for pesticides to the whole citrus 

fruits group (FC 0001), data should be provided on lemon or lime; and mandarin; and orange; and pummelo or grapefruit. In lemons 

and limes (FC 0002), the name of “yuzu” was changed to “yuja” for consistency with the discussion on this commodity under Agenda 

Item 7(b) (see para. 90). 

109. In Group 003 Stone Fruits, apricot was added as an alternative representative commodity to peach for extrapolation of MRLs 

to the whole stone fruits group (FP 0009) hence a consequential amendment was made to Subgroup 003C, Peaches. It was noted 

that in some countries apricot was the commodity most likely to contain the highest residues. It was however noted that peaches 

have large cultivation areas in many countries therefore the decision on which commodity would be considered as representative of 

the relevant group could be taken based on information provided on dietary consumption and/or production area. 

110. In Group 006 Assorted Tropical and Subtropical Fruits – inedible peel, the reference to “dragonfruit” was changed to 

“pitahaya” for consistency with Subgroup 006D, Assorted tropical and sub-tropical, inedible peel – cactus where pitahaya, as 

opposed to dragonfruit, was indicated as a representative commodity for inedible peel – cactus (FI 2024). Along these lines, 

“Spanish lime” was included in addition to “litchi” in the general Group 006 for consistency with Subgroup 006A, Assorted Tropical 

and Sub-tropical, inedible peel, small where Spanish lime was indicated as a representative commodity for inedible peel – small (FI 

2021). In this regard, the Committee agreed to include longans as a representative commodity in addition to litchi as they were 

similar to litchis in morphology, growth habit, pest problems, similar GAPs, and edible portion for the determination of the residue. In 

addition, longans produce similar or higher residues than litchis and were widely produced and traded within the Asian region.

STATUS OF THE DRAFT PRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCE ON THE SELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE COMMODITIES FOR THE EXTRAPOLATION OF 

MRLS TO COMMODITY GROUPS 

111. The Committee agreed to hold the Draft Principles and Guidance (including Table 1 on fruit commodities) at Step 7 pending 

the finalization of the revision of the Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds as per the fruit types (Appendix IX). 

DISCUSSION PAPER ON THE GUIDANCE TO FACILITATE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MAXIMUM RESIDUE LIMITS FOR 

PESTICIDES FOR MINOR USE AND SPECIALTY CROPS (Agenda Item 9) 15 

112. The Delegation of the United States of America, as Chair of the electronic Working Group on Minor Use and Specialty Crops, 

introduced the document highlighting the major issues associated with the establishment of maximum residue limits for pesticides for 

minor use and specialty crops as presented in CX/PR 11/43/9. As regards the definition of minor use and specialty crops, the 

Delegation recalled that the last session of the Committee did not endorse the recommendation for guidance from JMPR on the 

number of residue field trials necessary to perform the evaluation as there was not an agreed international definition nor any agreed 

data requirements for minor use. The Delegation noted that there is currently no agreement on a definition due to difficulties in 

reaching consensus as per what could be considered a minor use and specialty crop vis-à-vis the production and consumption of the 

same commodity in different countries and regions. In view of this, criteria as opposed to definition, for use by CCPR and JMPR to 

determine the minimum number of field trials necessary to support the establishment of MRLs for minor use and specialty crops 

could be more appropriate to assist member countries in the identification of minor use/specialty crops and the submission of data to 


113. Several delegations supported the development of criteria for use by CCPR/JMPR and generally favoured the dietary intake 

contribution and total production/cultivation area as relevant criteria to address risk assessment for the establishment of MRLs for 

minor use and specialty crops. Therefore, economic factors should not be taken into account when further developing the criteria. 

Some of these delegations noted that the development of criteria could later on assist in the elaboration of a definition for minor use 

and specialty crops that could then be agreed upon by Codex members. 

114. In regard to the two criteria identified, several delegation were of the opinion that, in order to provide for more flexibility in their 

application worldwide, the cut off figures for dietary intake contribution and the total production area should rather be expressed in 

percentages of the global total daily diet (based on GEMS Food Data) and of the world food production (based on FAOSTAT) 

however a higher tonnage production than currently presented in the discussion paper should be considered. 

115. The Delegation of the EU noted that clarity was needed on the terminology used in the discussion paper to address these 

commodities i.e. minor use, minor crops and specialty crops. The Delegation indicated that the terms minor/major crops are used to 

define a food safety issue and the number of trials necessary for MRLs setting hence the daily intake contribution and cultivation 

area are relevant criteria to identify minor crops. In this regard, the Delegation noted that the discussion paper did not clearly 

differentiate between minor crop and minor use and that the latter was more related to the economic return on the use of a pesticide 

in relation to the registration costs which in no case would reduce the number of trials required for the establishment of MRLs for the 

minor crop. It was noted that, in this framework, there could be major crops with minor use and vice-versa. The delegation also noted 

that the discussion paper neither clearly differentiate between “minor crop” and “specialty crop” and that both terms should clearly be 

understood for the purposes of MRLs setting by CCPR. 

Conclusion 

116. Based on the above considerations, the Committee agreed to re-establish the electronic working group chaired by the United 

States of America and co-chaired by Kenya and Thailand to work on the development of criteria for use by CCPR and JMPR to 

determine the minimum number of field trials necessary to support the establishment of MRLs for minor crops/specialty crops in 

order to facilitate data submission to JMPR. The Committee agreed that the electronic working group will hold a meeting prior to the 

44 th Session of the CCPR and that both the electronic and physical working groups will work in English only. 

PROPOSED DRAFT REVISION OF THE GUIDELINES ON THE ESTIMATION OF UNCERTAINTY OF RESULTS FOR THE 

DETERMINATION OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES (Agenda Item 10a) 16 

117. The Committee recalled that its last session had agreed to return the proposed draft Guidelines to Step 3 for consideration at 

this session. 

15 CX/PR 11/43/9. Comments from Kenya (CRD 5); CropLife (CRD 6); Thailand (CRD 8); Colombia (CRD 9); Argentina (CRD 10); China (CRD 19); Nigeria 

(CRD 20); Mali (CRD 21); EU (CRD 22); and OECD (CRD 29). 

16 CX/PR 11/43/10; CX/PR 11/43/10-Add.1 (Comments from Canada and Cuba). Additional comments from Kenya (CRD 5); Colombia (CRD 9); Japan (CRD 

13); EU (CRD 15); China (CRD 19); Mali (CRD 21); and Japan (CRD 23). Report of the in-session Working Group on Methods of Analysis (CRD 30).


118. The Delegation of Australia, as Chair of the in-session Working Group on Methods of Analysis, introduced CRD 30 which 

contained a revised version of the Guidelines on the estimation of uncertainty of results for the determination of pesticide residues. 

119. The Delegation of Egypt pointed out that uncertainty of sampling and sampling preparation should be considered as in many 

cases it would be larger than that of analytical measurement and proposed the inclusion of a default uncertainty component for 

sampling in the Guidelines. The Committee was reminded that, in general, sampling is outside the control of analytical laboratories 

and that the estimation of sampling uncertainty is outside the scope of these Guidelines. Uncertainty associated with laboratory 

sample preparation is normally expected to be addressed and incorporated as part of the method validation process for specific food 

commodities. It was noted that the question of sampling uncertainty had been considered in the Committee on Methods of Analysis 

and Sampling (CCMAS) from a general point of view. 

120. The Delegation also indicated that, in addition to the Guidelines applicable to pesticide residues, there were Guidelines on 

measurement uncertainty developed by the CCMAS, which would cause confusion and that one harmonized guideline rather than 

several guidelines should be developed. The Committee however recalled that the Guidelines on Measurement Uncertainty (GL 54- 

2004) were of general application, while the Guidelines discussed in CCPR are specific guidelines for the determination of pesticide 

residues. 

STATUS OF THE PROPOSED DRAFT REVISION OF THE GUIDELINES ON THE ESTIMATION OF UNCERTAINTY OF RESULTS FOR THE 

DETERMINATION OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES (ANNEX TO CAC/GL 59-2006) 

121. The Committee agreed to forward the revised Proposed Draft Guidelines to the 34 th Session of the Commission for adoption 

at Step 5/8 (Appendix X). 

DISCUSSION PAPER ON HOW TO ADDRESS METHODS OF ANALYSIS FOR PESTICIDE RESIDUES BY THE CODEX 

COMMITTEE ON PESTICIDE RESIDUES (Agenda Item 10b) 17 

122. The Committee recalled that at its last session it had agreed to consider the status of the repository list of analytical methods 

maintained by the IAEA and the implications of maintaining the list as either a resource list or as preferred/ obligatory methods at this 

session. 

123. The Delegation of Australia, as Chair of the in-session working group, referred to CRD 30. The Committee agreed with the 

recommendation of the working group to revoke Analysis of Pesticide Residues: Recommended Methods (CODEX STAN 229-1993) 

and that the IAEA would continue to support the maintenance of the web-based method database with a direct link from the Codex 

website. 

REVISION OF THE RISK ANALYSIS PRINCIPLES APPLIED BY THE CODEX COMMITTEE ON PESTICIDE RESIDUES (Agenda 

Item 11) 18 

124. The Committee recalled that its last session had returned the Revision for redrafting by an electronic working group led by 

Argentina in the light of the comments received, to identify issues of concern and prepare proposals on how to resolve these issues. 

125. The Delegation of Argentina recalled the initial mandate of the working group when the revision of the Risk Analysis Principles 

was initiated in 2008 and summarized the main discussions held in the Committee so far. The Delegation highlighted the main issues 

for consideration, especially the revision of the Periodic Review Procedure, and the reordering of the text in order to align it with the 

Working Principles for Risk Analysis, as discussed in the Committee on General Principles. As regards section 5.5 Periodic Review 

Procedure, two alternative proposals had been put forward. 

126. The Committee agreed to focus on the alternative proposals for the revision of the periodic review. Many delegations 

supported the first alternative as they considered MRL setting should be consistent with general Codex texts and the Working 

Principles for Risk Analysis and therefore MRLs should not be revoked without scientific justification. These delegations also pointed 

out that retaining MRLs which were still valid would save resources for the purpose of risk assessment and would limit potential trade 

problems. 

127. Many other delegations expressed the view that the periodic review was based on science and should be retained especially 

for the following reasons: MRLs should be revised when GAP change; MRLs for foods of animal origin should be revised as 

appropriate to take into account the update of the OECD Feedstuffs Derived from Crops Table in 2009; and JMPR should consider 

establishing an ARfD for the older compounds. 

17 CX/PR 11/43/11. Report of the in-session Working Group on Methods of Analysis (CRD 30). 

18 CX/PR 11/43/12, CX/PR 11/43/12-Add.1 (comments from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Japan, Uruguay and CropLife International). Additional comments 

from Kenya (CRD 5); Colombia (CRD 9); Chile (CRD); Uruguay (CRD 12); Argentina (CRD 18); China (CRD 19); Nigeria (CRD 20); Mali (CRD 21); Australia 

(CRD 24); and Brazil (CRD 28).


128. Some delegations pointed out that MRLs could always be revised when new data became available and therefore both 

alternatives could be considered provided the conditions for revision or revocation of MRLs were clearly specified on a scientific 

basis. 

129. The Delegation of Australia indicated that in CRD 24 they had proposed an approach that would allow existing CXLs to be 

retained without a residue re-evaluation provided a toxicological assessment by JMPR does not raise any health concerns; dietary 

exposure estimates are below the ADI and the ARfD; and there is evidence of GAP relevant to existing CXLs. The Delegation also 

highlighted the role of the priorities working group to give advance notice of the periodic re-evaluation and the need for providing 

relevant data in a timely manner. 

130. The Committee considered whether the rest of the document could be reviewed at the current session. However several 

delegations pointed out that it would be preferable to resolve the issue of the periodic review before reviewing the text as a whole to 

ensure consistency with the Working Principles for Risk Analysis. 

131. Following further consultations between interested countries, the Committee considered a new proposal put forward by Brazil 

in CRD 28 as a basis for future discussion of the periodic review, as follows: 

1) When a CXL is not supported by the manufacturers: the interested member countries can support the MRL submitting the 

GAP or to provide new residue data and GAP to JMPR for a new recommendation. 

2) When the whole compound is not supported by the manufacturers: the interested member countries can support the reevaluation 

of the compound by submitting residue data and the monograph of toxicological data to JMPR. If the 

monograph is not enough, JMPR can request for additional data. 

The Delegation of Brazil also suggested to request JMPR advice on the minimum data requirement for submission in case the 

complete toxicological database was not available (e.g. summary data). 

132. The Committee agreed that reference to monographs referred to national monographs of toxicological data for submission to 


133. The Committee also agreed to use these proposals as a basis for further work, with the understanding that more detailed 

discussion would be needed to develop specific recommendations. 

134. The Observer from CropLife expressed the view that both recommendations seemed to conflict with JMPR responsibilities as 

they implied that JMPR would work with reduced data sets for the re-evaluation of MRLs; it was unclear how JMPR could update 

dietary risk assessment based only on GAP; JMPR can only make an informed decision when they have access to the full data set 

as currently required and to what extent they need to make use of these data has to be decided on a case-by- case. The Observer 

expressed concern that these changes may undermine the public confidence in Codex MRL, and generally supported retaining the 

principle of the current Periodic Review Procedure, with possible amendments for clarification purposes. 

135. The JMPR Secretariat recalled that data requirements for submission to JMPR were already defined and applied to any set of 

data submitted for assessment; when any information was missing, the submissions would be evaluated on a case by case basis; 

and only nationally approved GAP should be submitted to JMPR. Toxicological monographs would not need to be re-submitted, but 

only updated additional information, including toxicological data if available. 

136. The Committee discussed how to proceed further. Some delegations pointed out that the revision of the periodic review might 

affect other sections of the document and therefore the Risk Analysis Principles as a whole should also be revised concurrently, 

according to the initial mandate of the Committee. The Chair also recalled that the revision should be completed by 2013 in 

accordance with the Strategic Plan 2008-2013. 

Conclusion 

137. The Committee therefore agreed to re-convene the electronic working group chaired by Argentina and Brazil, working in 

English and Spanish, to develop proposals for the revision of the periodic review as a priority and, if feasible, to review the entire text 

of the Risk Analysis Principles, for consideration by the next session. It was also agreed that, if necessary, a physical working group 

chaired by Argentina and Brazil and working in English would be held prior to the next session in order to facilitate discussion in the 

plenary. The Delegation of Brazil emphasized the importance of effective participation and contribution of member countries in the 

work of the working group in order to advance work on the revision of the Risk Analysis Principles.


ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PRIORITY LISTS OF PESTICIDES (Agenda Item 12a) 19 

138. The Delegation of Australia, as Chair of the in-session Working Group on Priorities introduced the report of the working group. 

The Chair mentioned the addition of new information on registration status, expected residues and residue trials available in order to 

help setting priorities. He also mentioned new appendixes to the schedule, mentioning compounds which are no longer supported by 

industry (Table 5) and commodities which are no longer supported by industry (Table 6). These two appendices will increase the 

transparency and will allow member states to be prepared to support compounds and commodities no longer supported by industry. 

Periodic Re-evaluation 

139. Procymidone (136) and Vinclozolin (159) are no longer supported by industry and member countries. Therefore, the 

Committee decided that all CXLs for these 2 compounds should be revoked. 

140. After some discussions and adjustments, the Committee agreed on the Priority List for 2012 provided as Appendix XI. 

Scheduling of chemicals 

141. The Committee was informed that 12 chemicals had been nominated for inclusion on the schedule for new compounds and 

periodic re-evaluation for 2012. The Chair listed the seven new chemical evaluations (ametoctradin, chlorfenapyr, dinotefuran, 

fluxapyroxad, MCPA, picoxystrobin, sedaxane), and the five chemicals listed for periodic re-evaluation (bentazone, cycloxydim, 

dichlorvos, fenvalerate, glufosinate-ammonium). The delegations of Thailand and the United States of America confirmed their 

support to the re-evaluation of fenvalerate which is not longer supported by the primary manufacturer. 

142. The Committee nominated 21 chemicals for follow-up evaluations namely fenbuconazole for consideration of the 

establishment of an ARfD and 20 substances for MRLs in additional commodities (buprofezin, captan, carbofuran, chlorothalonil, 

chlorpyrifos-methyl, cyfluthrin, cyproconazole, cyromazine, 2,4-D, dithiocarbamates-mancozeb, fludioxynil, flupyram, imidacloprid, 

methoxyfenozide, oxamyl, phorate, spinetoram, thiacloprid, thiamethoxate and trifloxystrobin). 

143. The Committee was informed that this number of compounds exceed the possibilities of the JMPR regarding the 

establishment of MRLs. It was therefore proposed by Croplife to postpone the periodic re-evaluation of residue limits for bentazone 

until 2013 but to keep this compound for toxicological re-evaluation in 2012. The Committee was advised that with these 

adjustments, the 2012 schedule had reached its quota and technically could not accept any further nominations. 

144. The Committee noted the chemicals listed for new evaluation and follow-up evaluation for the years 2013 to 2018 and that for 

2013, 12 new compounds are listed for evaluation and 13 compounds are listed for periodic re-evaluation. This is clearly exceeding 

the capacities of the JMPR. Moreover, the Committee also noted that more than 40 substances are already on the list for periodic reevaluation 

following the rule of 15 years. The Committee agreed to give the mandate to the Working Group on Priorities to propose a 

list of 2 to 3 chemicals every year, from the full list of substances candidate for periodic re-evaluation, based on their potential higher 

concern regarding public health. 

145. The Chair indicated that the work of the EWG for 2012 would commence in August with the broadcast email to all member 

countries and observers. In that correspondence, the Chair will highlight chemicals for which there is no manufacturer support and 

chemicals for which commodity listings are required. The Chair will also propose a re-ordering of the list of chemicals candidate for 

periodic re-evaluation based of the potential health concerns. The Committee agreed to reconvene the electronic working group 

chaired by Australia for 2012. 

CONSIDERATION OF THE STATUS OF CODEX MRLs for LINDANE (Agenda Item 12b) 20 

146. The Delegation of Australia, as Chair of the on in-session Working Group on Priorities introduced this item vis-à-vis the 

relation between the status of Codex MRLs for lindane and the Priority List as per the eligibility of this compound for re-evaluation in 

the future. 

147. The Committee noted that lindane is currently listed in Annex A of the Stockholm Convention by which Parties must take 

measures to eliminate the production and use of the chemicals listed under this Annex. The Committee considered the possible 

replacement of the existing lindane MRLs with EMRLs based on the different options provided for in the discussion paper. 

19 CX/PR 11/14/13 & CX/PR 11/14/13-Add.1. CX/PR 11/14/13-Add.2 (comments from Brazil, Canada and Uruguay). Additional comments from Kenya (CRD 5); 

EU (CRD 14); Mali (CRD 21); Australia (CRD 26); and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (CRD 27). 

20 CX/PR 11/43/14. Comments from Kenya (CRD 5) and Croplife (CRD 7).


148. The Committee noted that several signatory countries of the Stockholm Convention had not yet ratified the revision of Annex 

A and that decisions taken at the Convention did not have an immediate effect on the work of the Committee on Pesticide Residues 

which should follow the procedures laid down in the Procedural Manual, i.e. Risk Analysis Principles applied by CCPR, for the 

revocation of CX MRLs or the conversion of Codex MRLs into EMRLs. 

149. A number of delegations informed the Committee that uses of lindane for agricultural purposes are prohibited in their 

countries. Some of these delegations noted that, as this compound is a persistent organic pollutant in the environment (e.g. soil), 

presence of lindane in foods may warrant monitoring. 

Conclusion 

150. The Committee agreed that, because lindane is prohibited in certain countries and is also persistent in the environment, 

member states should monitor presence of lindane in food commodities and to provide data to JMPR within a period of 2 years for 

JMPR to review the monitoring data in 2015 prior to decision of conversion of MRLs to EMRLs. 

DISCUSSION PAPER ON JMPR RESOURCE ISSUES IN THE PROVISION OF SCIENTIFIC ADVICE TO CCPR (Agenda Item 

13a) 21 

151. The Delegation of the United States of America presented the discussion paper on the resource issues faced by JMPR, as 

requested by the 42 nd Session of the CCPR and also referred to information and comments provided by the 2010 JMPR (General 

Consideration, section 2.1). The Delegation highlighted that the demand on JMPR has increased in recent years and the resource 

constraints are limiting the number of reviews able to be completed each year with the review schedule for new chemicals is 

expected to be at capacity up to 2014. 

152. The discussion paper identified three primary issues of concern: funding, the availability of expertise, and the timing/frequency 

of JMPR meetings. The Committee noted that this increase in demand is indicative of the success of the process improvements that 

have been implemented in the past several years by the CCPR and the improved decision-making process in CCPR. The Committee 

agreed that lack of funding and the availability of expertise must be addressed before any of the options suggested in the paper 

could be implemented (such as holding more frequent meetings and Increasing the number of experts.) 

153. Various opinions presented at the discussion on the points raised in the paper. The JMPR Secretariat mentioned that there is 

an option for member countries to provide targeted funding for JMPR under the Scientific Advice Initiatives. 

Conclusion 

154. The Committee concluded that the CCPR itself could not solve the problem, but need to be addressed at high level. 

155. The Committee agreed that the JMPR resource issues should be raised by the member countries of FAO and WHO at the 

highest level possible, and that member countries could express their concerns at the next session of the Codex Alimentarius 

Commission. 

156. In light of the large number of compounds eligible for periodic review, the Committee agreed that, the electronic Working 

Group on Priorities should consider ranking them on the basis of health risks to assist setting the priority list at the next meeting. 

ASSESSMENT OF MRLS FOR PESTICIDES IN TEA (Agenda Item 13b) 22 

157. The Committee was informed that the FAO Intergovernmental Group (IGG) on Tea has proposed to change the risk 

assessment associated with in the establishment of MRLs of pesticides in tea and the analytical methods used to identify the 

presence of pesticides in tea from the leaf to brew, or to pay equal attention to both, the leaf and brew, to provide correct and direct 

information to consumers as tea was used to make an infusion in water in most cases. The Committee noted that the rationale for 

this proposal was presented in CX/PR 11/43/16. 

158. The JMPR Secretariat noted that transfer of residues into tea infusion is already part of risk assessment and information on 

standard procedure of testing methodology and relevant scientific studies (in particular processing factors) would be welcome. The 

Secretariat also advised that MRLs are set on tea leaves, not on tea brew as the leaves are the product commonly and 

internationally traded. 

159. Some delegations informed the Committee that tea was an important crop in their countries and they might submit data and 

information if requested. 

21 CX/PR 11/43/15. Comments from Kenya (CRD 5) and Australia (CRD 26). 

22 CX/PR 11/43/16.


Conclusion 

160. The Committee emphasized the need for processing studies to refine the dietary risk assessment of tea and supported the 

comments of the FAO JMPR Secretariat. 

DATE AND PLACE OF THE NEXT SESSION (Agenda Item 14) 

161. The Committee was informed that its 44 th Session was tentatively scheduled to be held in Shanghai, China, in April 2012, the 

final arrangements being subject to confirmation by the Host Country and the Codex Secretariat.

HERBS 

Class A 

Type 5 Herbs and spices Group 027 Group Letter Code HH 

Herbs consist of leaves, flowers, stems and roots from a variety of (herbaceous) plants, used in relatively small amounts as 

condiments to flavour foods or beverages. They are used either in fresh or naturally dried form. 

Herbs are fully exposed to pesticides applied during the growing season. Post-harvest treatments are often carried out on dried 

herbs. 

Herbs are consumed as components of other foods in succulent and dried forms or as extracts of the succulent products. 

The group Herbs is divided in two subgroups: 

027A 

027B 

Herbs (herbaceous plants) 

Leaves of woody plants (leaves of shrubs and trees) 

Portion of the commodity to which the MRL applies (and which is analysed): Whole commodity as marketed, mainly in the fresh

Spices are exposed in varying degrees to pesticides applied during the growing season. Also post harvest treatment may be applied 

to spices in the dried form. 

They are consumed primarily in the dried form as condiments. 

The group Spices is divided in eight subgroups:

Note 2: 

Although white pepper is in principle a processed food belonging to Type 13: Derived products of plant origin, it is 

listed for convenience in Group 028 Spices. White pepper is prepared from Black pepper, Piper nigrum L.: The seeds 

are retted in water and dried after removal of the mesocarp. The resulting white pepper may or may not be ground 

into powder. The scientific name of green pepper and pink pepper is Piper nigrum L. Pink pepper is mature pepper. 

Green pepper is an immature stage of pink pepper. 

Asafoetida is not only marketed as root, but also as products (resin, powder, flour), which are produced from a gum 

of the root.

APPENDIX IX 

DRAFT PRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCE ON THE SELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE COMMODITIES 

FOR THE EXTRAPOLATION OF MRLS TO COMMODITY GROUPS 

(At Step 7) 

INTRODUCTION 

Residue extrapolation is the process by which the residue levels on representative commodities are utilized to estimate residue 

levels on related commodities in the same commodity group or subgroup for which trials have not been conducted. Representative 

commodities are chosen based on their commercial importance and the similarity of their morphology and residue characteristics to 

other related commodities in the group or subgroup. Ideally representative commodities are the most economically important 

commodities in production and/or consumption in a group or subgroup and have a greater dietary burden and have residue 

characteristics similar to other members of the group or subgroup. Residue extrapolation is a common consideration utilised by 

regulators internationally for ensuring that data requirements are only at a level that is scientifically justified in conducting risk 

assessment and to ensure the regulatory process does not become unnecessarily burdensome especially for minor crops. 

The objective of this document is to (1) propose criteria for the selection of representative commodities; (2) propose example 

representative commodities and (3) provide a detailed justification for the selection of the representative commodities. 

GENERAL PRINCIPLES 

Representative commodities within each Codex Classification commodity group and subgroup will be selected and proposed, based 

on consideration of all available information. The following principles will be used for the selection of representative commodities: 

• A representative commodity is most likely to contain the highest residues. 

• A representative commodity is likely to be major in terms of production and/or consumption. 

• A representative commodity is most likely similar in morphology, growth habit, pest problems and edible portion to the related 

commodities within a group or subgroup. 

The application of the three principles in the selection of representative commodities is based on the assumption that all of the 

commodities, covered by the commodity group MRL, are produced following a similar1 use pattern or GAP. 

To facilitate the global use of the commodity groups for MRLs, alternative representative commodities may be selected giving 

flexibility for use of residue research conducted in different countries or regions that may vary due to regional differences in dietary 

consumption and/or areas of production for certain commodities. 

Note: Table 1 in this document is provided to (1) separate the selection of representative commodities from the Codex 

Classification itself; (2) propose examples of representative commodities in parallel with the respective Codex commodity 

grouping classification revisions; (3) provide flexibility on the selection of representative crops and (4) provide guidance not 

only to CCPR and CCPR members, but also to JMPR, product manufacturers and other data generators. 

Detailed background information regarding production, consumption, MRLs and characteristics and justification for selection of the 

representative commodities according to the indicated principles were provided in working documents considered by the Committee 

when developing the representative commodities for each commodity group. 

GUIDANCE AND PROCEDURES 

As proposals for the revision of the Codex Classification are made and revised commodity groupings are developed and provided to 

the CCPR for their review, proposals on representative commodities will also be provided in parallel with the respective commodity 

grouping revisions and will advance through the CCPR step process for adoption by the CAC. 

As comments are addressed on the revisions of the classification and the proposed representative commodities and these are 

approved by the CCPR and accepted by the CAC, two separate documents will be created and maintained: (1) the revised Codex 

Classification (without mention of representative commodities) and (2) principles and guidance on the selection of representative 

commodities. 

The JMPR may be advised to use the representative commodities adopted by the CAC. However, JMPR may use other 

representative commodities (including those which may be specifically requested by member nations) on a case-by-case basis. The 

JMPR will be requested to provide to the CCPR justification for the use of any alternative representative commodities, based on all 

available data. 

1 Submission and Evaluation of Pesticide Residues Data for the Estimation of Maximum Residue Levels in Food and Feed (Section 6.7, 

Point a), FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper 197, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, 2009 (Second 

Edition).


Alternative Representative Commodities 

To facilitate the global use of the commodity groups for MRLs, alternative representative commodities may be selected giving 

flexibility for use of residue research conducted in different countries or regions that may vary due to regional differences in dietary 

consumption and/or areas of production for certain commodities. Table 1 in this document proposes examples of representative 

commodities for commodity groups. Depending on country or regional differences, alternative representative commodities may be 

proposed by a country. For example, leeks may be proposed as an alternative representative commodity for green onions in the 

green onion subgroup of Bulb Vegetables. 

Precedence in Selection of Representative Commodities 

In situations where a representative commodity does not meet all three of the above principles, a representative commodity should 

at least meet the first two principles (likely to contain the highest residues and also major in terms of production and/or consumption). 

Definition of Similar Residues 

When representative commodities are utilized to extrapolate to other members of a commodity group, it is based on the assumption 

that the representative commodities will have similar residues. “Similar residues” are difficult to define numerically, because this 

would require knowing actual residues for all commodities in a group. Rather, the expectation of similar residues is based upon 

consideration of all of the information available. This information will be prepared for each commodity group and will form the basis of 

the proposals for representative commodities. 

Use and Combination of Data Sets 

When representative commodities are utilized to extrapolate MRLs to other members of the commodity group, MRLs may be 

calculated as either the highest MRL calculated for any of the individual representative commodities, and the ALARA2 principle 

needs to be considered, or the residue data may be combined and the MRL calculated from the larger combined data set. 

Wider Extrapolations 

A representative commodity should meet at least the first two principles described above, i.e. likely to contain the highest residues 

and also major in terms of production and/or consumption. However, it may not always fit well with the growth habits, or pest 

problems of morphology within one group or subgroup. In such situations, extrapolations beyond the members of a commodity group 

may be appropriate. These can be considered on a case-by-case basis when commodities (with similar GAPs) have similar size, 

shape and surface area. Examples of these possible wider extrapolations include (1) translation of certain stone or pome fruit MRLs 

to a tropical fruit; (2) where residues are all

APPENDIX X 

DRAFT REVISION OF THE GUIDELINES ON THE ESTIMATION OF MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY OF RESULTS 

FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES (ANNEX TO CAC/GL 59-2006) 

(At Step 5/8) 

Introductory notes 

1. As noted in the Guideline document CAC/GL 59-2006, the estimation of measurement uncertainty (MU) associated with analytical 

data is a requirement for laboratories accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 and an expectation for all laboratories operating under Good 

Laboratory Practice (GLP) in pesticide residue analysis. Decisions in regard to compliance of food, whether for domestic or 

international standards for chemical residues and contaminants, need to take into consideration the uncertainty associated with the 

test results reported by laboratories for analysis of specific lots or consignments. 

2. It is not uncommon for laboratories to report widely different estimates of MU in Proficiency Tests (PT) despite the fact that they 

employ very similar test methods for analysis. This evidence suggests that the estimation of MU still appears to be a developing 

science for a number of food laboratories. This annex is intended to describe some of the options laboratories might employ in 

estimating measurement uncertainty, particularly the use of in-house method validation, quality control and long-term precision data 

for multi-residue pesticide methods. It is also anticipated that a more harmonised approach to the estimation of MU for pesticide 

residue results will minimise possible disputes in compliance decisions for residue levels near MRLs. 

3. There are broadly two approaches commonly employed for the determination of MU; the so-called GUM (Guide to the Expression 

of Uncertainty in Measurement) or ‘bottom-up’ approach and the ‘top-down’ procedures based around application of analytical 

precision and bias. 

4. The GUM approach is based on a rigorous analysis of all the individual components of an analytical process and the estimation of 

random and systematic errors assigned to these steps. This process, whilst initially very laborious, requires the analyst to have or 

develop a detailed understanding of the analytical steps on the process and identify the critical control points in the method. Unless 

all steps are considered in the process, it is possible to underestimate the MU. On the other hand, some operational errors may 

cancel out which, if ignored, could provide an overestimate of the uncertainty. It is generally acknowledged that the bottom-up 

approach is more suited to physical metrology than to analytical chemistry activities and, in particular, to the more complex 

multi-pesticide residue methods. 

5. Proponents of the top-down approach note that laboratory data collected from in-house validation, long-term precision and 

analytical quality control (QC) is likely to provide more reliable information on MU. Where available, PT data can also be used to 

estimate MU, either as the sole basis for estimates or more often in combination with in-house data. The inter-laboratory 

reproducibility data from PT studies can also provide a useful ‘benchmark’ for single laboratory estimates. 

6. All options should be considered in the estimation of MU. The initial aim should be to obtain the best possible estimate using the 

information available. Initial laboratory estimates should be verified by comparison with alternative methods, literature reports and 

comparisons from PT studies. Furthermore professional judgement has an important role when estimating and verifying 

measurement uncertainty. Estimates should be reviewed as more precision data becomes available, for example, within-batch QC 

data routinely generated during the course of an analytical program. 

7. This Annex focuses on the estimation of MU using the top-down approach, based on data obtained from different sources. 

Applying a default value for MU for pesticide residues in foods 

8. EU member states have adopted a MU ‘default’ value of +/- 50% for pesticide residues in food consignments entering the EU. The 

default value is based around the statistical results of a number of EU-based PT studies involving competent residue laboratories 

participating in a number of multi-residue studies on fruit and vegetables. The mean relative standard deviations reported from a 

number of these studies have ranged between 20 to 25% providing a MU approximating to 50%. 

9. In the absence of other statistical data, a laboratory testing food commodities for compliance with EU pesticide MRL regulations 

can adopt a default MU of 50% provided it could establish its analytical proficiency through participation in EU or similar PT studies 

and/or it can demonstrate acceptable long-term precision and bias associated with its test results. In the longer term however, it 

should be incumbent on the laboratory to verify its adoption of the default MU by independently estimating MU based on in-house 

precision and validation data. 

Precision data derived from the use of the Horwitz relationship 

10. In the absence of data from inter-laboratory studies on a particular method, the reproducibility standard deviation, and hence MU, 

may be determined from an equation reported by Horwitz which correlates reproducibility standard deviation with analyte 

concentration. The Horwitz relationship between coefficient of variation (CV) and analyte concentration is based on the results from a 

large number of food-based collaborative studies reported in the literature. The Horwitz equation is also a helpful tool to compare 

in-house MU estimates against the expected value derived from published inter-laboratory studies.


Precision data derived from inter-laboratory studies (Collaborative Studies and PT Studies) 

11. The results reported for inter-laboratory studies are subject to both imprecision and bias. If such studies involve a sufficient 

number of laboratories and are designed to cover real test conditions (range of analytes and matrices), the reproducibility standard 

deviations obtained will reflect the typical errors likely to be encountered in practice. PT study data therefore may be used to provide 

reasonable estimates of measurement uncertainty. 

12. Collaborative studies on methods are generally well defined with well documented instructions on the analytical process and 

usually only involve expert laboratories with reputable experience in residue analysis. Under these conditions the analytical variance 

is likely to be the best achievable when applying the method under reproducibility conditions, particularly as error contributions from 

sample in-homogeneity are likely to be negligible. Providing a laboratory can demonstrate an ability to achieve the analytical 

performance associated with a particular collaborative study, the reproducibility standard deviation obtained for the study will be a 

good basis for estimating MU. A competent laboratory however, should be able to improve on the inter-laboratory method precision 

when conducting the method under within-laboratory reproducibility conditions, and hence reduce the MU. 

13. If certified reference materials (CRMs) are employed in collaborative studies, the study report should provide an estimate of the 

bias of the method against the ‘certified’ value and this will need to be taken into consideration when estimating the MU. 

14. In PT studies, it is normal for laboratories to employ their own test method for analysis. The method may be a standard method, 

a modified standard method or a method developed and validated in-house. Furthermore, there is generally greater variability in the 

analytical competence of the participating laboratories than is the case for collaborative studies. Because of these factors, the 

reproducibility standard deviation obtained for PT studies is likely to be larger than that anticipated from a method-based 

collaborative study. MU based on such data may be larger than the estimates reported by many participant laboratories. 

Nevertheless, an estimate of MU based on a PT study involving laboratories with a range of expertise using a variety of methods 

may be more pragmatic and useful for judging compliance of food commodities with respect to pesticide residues in international 

trade. The 50% default MU applied by the EU member states is based on PT data for a range of pesticides and food matrices. 

15. Whether or not a laboratory uses PT data to estimate MU, the information from PT studies is useful to compare and verify 

estimates based on data such as in-house validation or quality control experiments. 

MU derived from in-house validation and quality control data 

16. There is general consensus amongst chemical metrologists that the best source of uncertainty data on the analytical process is 

derived from the laboratory’s method validation and/or verification studies and long-term quality control data. This is based on the 

assumption that the laboratory has undertaken validation and/or verification studies and has sufficient experience to have built up 

long-term bias and reproducibility data on suitable quality control (QC) samples, CRMs, reference materials (RMs) or matrix spikes. 

17. The limited availability of CRMs for pesticide residues in food matrices usually requires laboratories to focus on spiked samples 

or other suitably characterised samples for internal quality control. The use of matrix-based QC samples such as samples with 

incurred residues, left-over PT study samples or spiked residue-free laboratory samples provides laboratories with a capability to 

monitor and control method (and analyst) performance while gathering information on both bias and precision. Control charts are 

excellent tools for evaluating long-term precision and monitoring statistical control of the analytical process. 

18. Bias, where significant, and the uncertainty of bias, should be considered when estimating MU. This is illustrated in the example 

discussed under paragraph 5.4. 

19. Bias can best be determined from the use of CRMs. However given the paucity of CRMs for pesticides in food and the large 

number of pesticides normally incorporated into a multi-residue screen, it is generally necessary to rely on the recoveries of spiked 

matrix samples to provide information on method bias. 

20. The performance of laboratories in PT studies can further provide a useful indication of the bias of individual laboratories against 

the consensus values and, in some instances, the spiking level of the PT samples. However, bias should be based on or confirmed 

by the results from a number of PT studies before it is used as an input in the estimation of MU. 

Worked Examples 

21. The following worked examples describe acceptable procedures for estimating MU based on different combinations of in-house 

validation data, in-house precision data and inter-laboratory data. The Horwitz equation and results from PT studies further provide 

useful benchmarks for comparison with in-house MU estimates. 

The following worked examples use hypothetical data for chlorpyrifos as a typical pesticide residue and draw heavily on examples 

presented in Eurolab Technical report No 1/2007 [1] and the Nordtest Report TR537 [2]. 

5.1 Estimating MU using the Horwitz Equation 

The Horwitz equation expresses reproducibility standard deviation as a function of analyte concentration. 

u′ = 21-0.5 log c 

where u′ = relative reproducibility standard deviation 

c = concentration of analyte (in g/g).


The relative expanded MU, U′ (at 95% confidence level) may then be estimated by 

U′ = 2u'. 

Since the Horwitz equation is a function of analyte concentration, it will provide a range of MU values depending on pesticide 

concentration as noted in the following table: 

Concentration (mg/kg) u′(%) U′ (%) 

1.0 16 32 

0.1 22.6 45 

0.01 32 64 

Example 1. 

A laboratory measures 0.40 mg/kg chlorpyrifos in a sample of tomato. 

The Horwitz Equation predicts a relative reproducibility standard deviation of 18.4% at a concentration of 0.40 mg/kg. 

u′ = 18.4 % 

U′ = 2u′ = 37% 

The laboratory would therefore report the result as 0.40 ± 0.15 mg/kg 

The laboratory report should state that the reported uncertainty was an expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of 2 to give a 

level of confidence of approximately 95%. Unless stated otherwise, this is generally assumed for results reported with expanded 

uncertainties. 

In the absence of supporting data, the Horwitz equation should be used with some caution and only as an indicator of the likely 

uncertainty associated with test results. Advances in analytical methodologies, particularly instrumental techniques, have provided 

the capability to achieve very low limits of quantitation with much less uncertainty then predicted by the Horwitz Equation. Thompson 

and Lowthian [3] have reported that laboratories tend to out-perform the Horwitz function at low concentrations. It should be noted 

however that the Thompson concept limits the maximum value for u′ for concentrations below 0.1 mg/kg to 22% independent of the 

concentration. 

5.2 Estimating MU by application of the EU default value of 50% 

Before applying a default MU, laboratories should ensure that they are able to routinely achieve uncertainties not greater than the 

default value. 

Example 2: 

A laboratory measures 0.40 mg/kg chlorpyrifos in a sample of tomatoes. An agreed default value of ± 50% is to be applied to the 

measured result. 

Accordingly, the laboratory would report the result as 0.40 ± 0.20 mg/kg. 

5.3 Estimating MU based on Intra-laboratory QC and data from PT Studies 

5.3.1 Using the assigned (or consensus) value from PT studies 

Equation 1 

U′ = 2u′ 

u' = 

2 

2 

u'(Rw) + u'(bias) 

Equation 2 

where U′ = expanded relative uncertainty 

Example 3: 

u′ = combined relative standard uncertainty 

u′(Rw) = relative standard uncertainty due to within-laboratory imprecision (relative intra-laboratory 

reproducibility standard deviation) 

u′(bias) = relative standard uncertainty component due to bias 

In this example, u′(Rw) is obtained from within-laboratory QC data, preferably long-term QC data and u′(bias) is estimated from PT 

data.


Laboratory result for chlorpyrifos in tomato = 0.40 mg/kg 

Relative standard deviation from analysis of in-batch QC samples of tomato spiked at 0.5 mg/kg with chlorpyrifos (one spiked sample 

per week for previous 3 months) = 15%. 

The laboratory has participated in 6 PT studies where the analytes have included chlorpyrifos in different vegetables and fruit 

matrices. For these studies, the relative differences between the laboratory’s result and the assigned value were -15%, 5%, -2%, 7%, 

-20% and -12%. An average of 16 laboratories participated in each of the PT studies. The average relative reproducibility standard 

deviation (SR) reported for chlorpyrifos in the six studies was 25%. 

u' (bias) = 

2 

2 

RMS' bias + u' ( C ref) 

Equation 3 

where RMS′bias = root mean square of relative bias value 

u′ (C ref) = average relative uncertainty of the assigned values for chlorpyrifos in the six studies.

So, u′(bias) =

2 

(11.9) + (6.3) = 13.5% 

From equation 2, 

u′ = 

2 

2 

(15) + (13.5) = 20% 

From Equation 1, the expanded relative uncertainty (95% confidence) = 40% 

The Laboratory should report the result as 0.40 ± 0.16 mg/kg 

Notes: 

1. The RMS′bias value accounts for both bias and the uncertainty of bias. 

2. The calculated MU is a best estimate only since the PT data is for different matrices and different concentrations of 

chlorpyrifos. 

3. If possible, MU should be calculated based on data generated at or near the most critical concentration, for example the 

Codex MRL. 

5.3.2 PT Studies with Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) 

If a suitable CRM containing chlorpyrifos is distributed as a sample in a PT study, then there would be no need to calculate u′ (C ref) 

from the PT results. 

In this case, u′ (C ref) would be the uncertainty stated for the certified concentration, converted to a relative standard deviation. 

For example, if the 95% confidence range for the certified value for chlopyrifos in the CRM was 0.489 ± 0.031 mg/kg, then:


u (C ref) (standard deviation) = 

u′ (C ref) (relative standard deviation) = 

0.031 

2 

0 .0155× 

100 

0.489 

= 0.0155 mg/kg, and 

= 3.17% 

In the unlikely event that several CRMs containing chlorpyrifos were distributed in different rounds of the PT studies, then the mean 

u(C ref) would be used to calculate U. 

In both cases, RMS′bias would be calculated using Equation 4. 

Example 4: 

Study No. CRM relative bias u′ (C ref) 

1 A -12% 2.3% 

2 B -15% 1.7% 

3 C -3% 2.0% 

4 C 5% 2.0% 

5 C -20% 2.0% 

6 A 0% 2.3% 

Mean u′ (C ref) = 2.05 % 

From Equation 4, RMS′bias = 11.6 % 

From Equation 3, u′(bias) = 11.8 % 

Note: 

4. The relative uncertainty associated with CRMs is likely to be less than that associated with assigned or consensus values. 

If the laboratory’s relative standard uncertainty due to analytical imprecision u′(RW) remained the same i.e.,15%, then from Equations 

1 and 2. 

u′ = 19% 

U′ = 38% 

The laboratory could report the result as 0.40 ± 0.15 

mg/kg 

5.4 Estimating MU using Intra – laboratory QC data 

Example 5: 

• Laboratory result for chlorpyrifos in tomato = 0.40 mg/kg 

• Stated purity of chlorpyrifos calibration material used to prepare the spiking solution = 95±2% (certificate of analysis) 

• Fourteen recoveries (%) recorded for in-batch QC samples spiked at 0.5 mg/kg chlorpyrifos over the past 3 months; 

90, 100, 87, 89, 91, 79, 75, 65, 80, 82, 115, 110, 65, 73 provided a mean recovery of 86 % and a relative standard 

deviation of 15 %. 

Assuming the uncertainty stated for the reference material to be an expanded uncertainty U (95% confidence range), 

u′(Cref) = 

2 

2 

= 1% 

Note: 

5. This assumes that the uncertainties associated with the preparation of the spiking solution and the spiking of the tomatoes are 

both insignificant. This is likely to be the case, but, if not, u′ (C ref) will nevertheless still be only a very minor contribution to the overall 

uncertainty. 

u′(RW) = 15% (relative intra-lab reproducibility standard deviation).


Using Equation 4, and taking bias to be 100 - % recovery, 

RMS′bias = 20% 

From Equation 3, u′(bias) = 20% 

From Equation 2, u′ = 25% 

From Equation 1, U′ = 50% 

The laboratory could report the result as 0.40 ± 0.20 mg/kg. 

Note: 

6. This uncertainty would apply to results not corrected for recovery. If, at the end of the analytical program, the results were 

corrected for the average recovery achieved over the 3 month period of analysis, then u′(bias) need only reflect the uncertainty 

associated with the mean recovery. Then u′(bias) may be calculated as the relative standard uncertainty of the recovery factor 

applied (the relative uncertainty of the mean recovery) combined with the relative standard uncertainty of the spike concentration, 

u’(Cref). 

Relative Standard Uncertainty of mean recovery,

Equation 7 

thus 

2 2 

u '(

= (4) + (1) = 4.1% 

Then, from Equation 2 and 1, using the u′(RW) value of 15% calculated previously 

u′ = 15.5% and 

U′ = 31% 

If results were corrected for recovery, the result should be reported as 

0.40 ± 0.12 mg/kg 

Note: 

7. This example shows that if results are corrected for a mean recovery based on nine or more replicate recovery experiments 

conducted during the course of an analytical program, using a reference material for which the purity is known with a high level of 

certainty, a reasonable estimate of measurement uncertainty may be calculated from solely the intra-lab reproducibility standard 

deviation.
